SodaStream is giving away free machines — but there’s a catch

The company is giving away free SodaStream machines to anyone who
bought the Kold, Keurig's now-discontinued soda maker that was
meant to compete with the SodaStream.

"AtSodaStream, we have long known that the
future of at-home carbonated beverages would not be single serve,
sugary drinks but rather multi-serve, sustainable sparkling
waters," said Doug Pritchard, president of SodaStream,
North America. "SodaStream sparkling water makers are
space efficient, affordable and easy to use. Consumers want
healthy sparkling waters they can make and enjoy at home."

In order to claim their free machine, Kold owners must
email a photo of themselves and their Kold machine to
info@sodastreamsupport.com. They must include their name,
address, phone number and their Kold machine's serial number in
the email.

SodaStream will
then send them a promotional code that can be redeemed at the
company's website for a free
SodaStream Fountain Jet machine which is an $80
value.

Only the first 2,000 customers to email SodaStream before
June 17 will get the free machine.

Keurig announced this week that it would be axing the Kold, just
nine months after its debut. The company was hoping that the $370
machine would give it a new avenue for growth beyond coffee.

But it failed miserably. In reviews, customers said the machine
was too expensive, large, and noisy.
